Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) slammed the U.S. operation that captured Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, saying it is not aimed at countering drug-trafficking.
Okay, like, everybody fucking knows this. So instead of just endlessly repeating rhetoric what the actual fuck are democrats going to do about it? Nothing? Because thats what it seems like.
The DNC seems to be moving in a better direction, we’ll see if they manage to not ratfuck the primary next time. If they get a landslide in the midterms they’d at least be able to mitigate a good deal of the shenanigans.
Gavin Newsom is certainly positioning himself for a primary bid, but I haven’t seen DNC leadership backing him? I think the chances of having a proper primary (which Newsom hopefully will not win) are a lot better with a grassroots-focused guy like Ken Martin as the DNC chair than with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. However, Tom Perez was supposed to be fairly progressive and his DNC still rigged the primary for Biden, so it’s too early to really tell.
It’s always weird when the liberals are on lemmy. They can go back to reddit. Dems aren’t going to do shit because they’re controlled opposition and the best case scenario is the liberals crawling around on lemmy will find out the hard way.
Republicans do evil things, democrats do less evil things and also just let Republicans do evil things. Hating the Republicans is a given, but liberals always telling us we can’t hate democrats too is annoying rhetoric that needs to stop.
Your initial complaint was that the Democrats won’t do anything about it.
My comment intended to communicate that there’s nothing Democrats can do about it; hence, your ire towards them in this context is misplaced at best, or actively propagandist.

What exactly are you expecting them to do without control of any part of the government? Stage a coup?
At the very LEAST focus on an election campaign that isn’t just “we’re not Trump”

Are they? Because it seems to me like they’re trying to push Gavin fucking Newsom as their next candidate.

Republicans control all three branches of government, and have huge sway over the fourth estate: Stupid Democrats!

You’ve missed it.
